When product variety shifts from being a roadblock to a driver of growth.

The new VDMA Industry Guide for Software and Digitalization 2026 is here—and we’re thrilled to be featured with a two-page spread!‍

‍

Why?

Because we don’t just understand the realities of mechanical and plant engineering—we actively shape them. In a world where complexity is often seen as an obstacle, we show you how to turn product variety into a scalable competitive advantage‍

‍

The harsh reality:

Many companies are overwhelmed by their own capabilities. Bidding processes take weeks, tie up valuable experts, and incur enormous costs before a contract is even in sight.

The SAE approach:

We don’t view CPQ as just another IT tool, but as a strategic infrastructure.
We don’t come from the CRM world; instead, we have a deep understanding of product logic.

‍

The result:

✅ Quotes in minutes, not days.
✅ Full transparency regarding margins and risks.
✅ Independence from individual experts.‍
